Smoking raises several employment law issues, including the possibility of impermissible discrimination. Several states have Smoker Protection Laws. South Carolina's Smoker Protection Law, for example, provides:

The use of tobacco products outside the workplace must not be the basis of personnel action, including, but not limited to, employment, termination, demotion, or promotion of an employee. No specific penalties specified for violation.
